Wildland mentioned in Disappearing Destinations

"Travel is more than just a visit to a destination. It's about heeding your wanderlust with heightened awareness and a new sense of urgency." That's the call of Kimberly Lisagor and Heather Hansen's new book, Disappearing Destinations: 37 Places in Peril and What Can Be Done to Help Save Them. In it they cite Wildland Adventures as an exemplary company that raises awareness among its travelers about local conservation issues and how they can contribute to environmental or cultural projects that makes its tours more sustainable.
Kurt Kutay, owner of Seattle-based Wildland Adventures, designs his company's trips "to create those opportunities as much as possible." According to Kutay, 95 percent of Wildland travelers donate money to conservation and community development where they visit. One group of Americans he led through Kenya donated $6,000 to restore a collapsed well, freeing the local women from a 12.5-mile walk through the desert for water.
